  • Publication number: 20060075349
    Abstract: A message, including for example an image, video, audio, text, and/or haptics, e.g., a digital photograph, is received by a communication device (101) via a receiver (109) operably connected to a communication network (117), and determined by a processor (107) of the communication device (101) to be targeted to a display, such as a secondary display (103) of the communication device. The processor (107) can authenticate the message or messages. Where the message is authenticated, the processor (107) can automatically display the one or more messages, responsive to receipt thereof, on the secondary display (103). Accordingly, a user can glance at the secondary display (103) of the communication device (101) and view messages, e.g., images, video, audio, text, and/or haptics which have been shared by one or more senders.

  • Publication number: 20050188406
    Abstract: A wireless communication device (104) for providing channel information is described. The device comprises a housing having a first display (1008) and a second display (1006), a memory (206) and a processor (204). The housing has a first position (1002) exposing the first and second displays and a second position (1004) covering the first display and exposing the second display. The memory (206) stores a plurality of applications and/or media content that may be shown by the second display (1006). The processor (204) changes operation of the second display (1006) from one application to another and/or the media content shown by the second display from one media content to another. Also, applications and/or content of the second display (1006) may be managed by a control panel application of the first display (1008).
